Kicking off Wednesday, Otsu will see a maximum temperature of 32°C (89°F) and a minimum of 24°C (75°F). The day starts off relatively cloudy with light rain showers expected throughout. A total of 0.2 mm of precipitation can be anticipated early in the morning, followed by a high likelihood of continued rain throughout the day, with a 100% chance of rain. Humidity levels will remain high at 94%, which might make it feel warmer than it actually is.
As the day progresses, expect some relief from the rain by late afternoon, when stormy weather will give way to more partly cloudy intervals. Visibility will be clear at 10 miles, but the dreary start may cause minor disruptions in morning commutes.
